His son Abhijit Mukherjee tweeted in the evening: “I have to tell everyone today with heavy heart, and despite the best efforts of the hospital doctors and the prayers and supplications of all Indians, my father Shri Pranab Mukherjee just passed away. “
Pranab Mukherjee, who served as the thirteenth president of India from 2012 to 2016, was a man of all seasons in Indian media.
Expressing grief at his death, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a tweet: “India is mourning the death of Bharat Ratna Pranab Mukherjee today.”
Modi, who has spent most of his five-decade political career in Congress, shared a picture of Pranab Mukherjee’s resignation and wrote: “It has left an unforgettable mark on the pace of development of the country.” He is an extraordinary scholar, a glorious statesman, respected in all walks of life and in all walks of life. “
Just as the then leader of Congress, Pranab, represented freedom-loving Bengalis when he was a member of the Rajya Sabha in West Bengal in 1971, he was also friends with Bangladesh even as president of India. His wife, artist Rabindra Sangeet, Shuvra Mukherjee, was a daughter from Narail, Bangladesh.
The then President of Bangladesh, Zillur Rahman, presented the ‘Bangladesh Liberation War Award’ to Pranab on March 4, 2013 as a foreign friend who contributed to the liberation war.
The current president of Bangladesh. In a message of condolence, Abdul Hamid said the death of Pranab Mukherjee was an “irreparable loss” for the politics of the Indian subcontinent.
“Pranab Mukherjee was a true friend from Bangladesh. Pranab Mukherjee’s role in the 1971 liberation war hastened our victory. He played an important role in creating public opinion on the international stage for Bangladesh’s liberation war. ”
In her message of condolence, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recalled Pranab Mukherjee’s “outstanding contribution” in the Bangladesh liberation war and the pain of losing a “guardian and family friend” in her personal life.
“Pranab Mukherjee has always supported us during his exile in India after the murder of the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975. He would take care of my family during such difficult times and would come to support my sister. minor, Sheikh Rehana, and us in case of any need. Even after returning to the country, Pranab Mukherjee has provided support and encouragement. He is our guardian and friend of the family. He has given courage in any crisis. “
Sheikh Hasina said: “India lost a wise and patriotic leader in the death of Pranab Mukherjee and Bangladesh lost a loved one. It will survive as a shining star in the politics of the subcontinent.
According to political analysts, Pranabda was unique in Indian politics for its ability to understand the situation and take steps to establish consensus between the various parties. He was always calm, firm, even in the manner of a friend from Indian politics; He had immense respect for multilateral political philosophy, whose wisdom, knowledge, skill, and memory were appreciated across the board.
The politician, who is at the forefront of the Indian National Congress, has been in Parliament for 36 years. Congress has ruled the country for the longest time in Indian history, and Pranab Mukherjee has been the government’s chief minister of trade, defense, foreign affairs and finance.

But the responsibility he had always hoped for, for which his name was mentioned more than once, was never handed over to Pranab Mukherjee.
For the first time since the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, Pranab’s name has come to the fore as a candidate for the post of prime minister. And the second time his name was mentioned was in 2004 after he unexpectedly won the Congressional elections. But Shike didn’t leave.
Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, handed over the prime minister’s job to Manmohan Singh in 2004. She later said that Pranab Mukherjee had a logical reason to think it was “private.”
“He is ahead of me in terms of qualifications to be prime minister. But he also knew that it was not in my hands at all.”
Half a century in politics
Born on December 11, 1935 in the village of Mirati in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, Pranab’s father, Kamada Kinkar Mukherjee, also led a colorful political life. The leader of Congress had to be jailed several times for participating in the anti-British freedom struggle.
Pranab holds a law degree from the University of Calcutta with a master’s degree in history and political science. Although she taught and did journalism at the university for some time, her interest was mainly in politics.

Indira’s ‘Paltu’ has become the ‘Pranavada’ of all of India at that time.
Pranab was the treasurer of the All India Congress from 1969 to 1969. In 1965 he became chairman of the West Bengal Provincial Committee. Once expelled from the party, he returned in 1989.

He returned to Bangladesh in July 2016, one year after the end of the president’s term, and also attended the closing ceremony of the International Bangla Literary Conference at the Bangla Academy.
“I have not had the opportunity to read much in my long political career,” he said. I was a minister for 25 years. I didn’t have time to push for government work and parliamentary work. I arrived at the 330 room Rashtrapati Bhavan and thought, what should I do here?
“The prime minister will send the file, the legislators will make the law, I will advise them. The role of the president is less there. One day a year, I will call the deputies and give a speech. I have to tell the president, my government.
“But the thing is, in the Rashtrapati Bhavan, I found a lot of articles about modern India, a lot of rare confidential records, a lot of material to read. If you read these, it will not be in a presidential term, it will take three terms. God’s call will come before him. I thought, I’ll read everything I can. “
Not just read, Pranab Mukherjee has written several books, highlighting all the important chapters in the history and politics of the Indian subcontinent.
